June 13th To Be Exact

Some months ago, I had heard about an ocean's worth of water discovered below eastern Asia. It's not enough to cover the 1/3rd of exposed land on Earth, but it is a significant quantity heretofore unknown, roughly the size of the Arctic Ocean. But what really put a smile on my face this afternoon as I read the story published February 28th (2007) at LiveScience.com, was the graphic of Earth's interior that conveyed essentially the same message as Fig. 4 on p. 46 of my "Evolution Science" book (which went to press over a month before this amazing discovery):

Progress! (Note that I touched upon this controversial subject on pp. 272-4 of "Evolution Science".)

In 1932, the president of the Royal College of Surgeons said that no one had done more than Henry Wellcome to make progress possible in the art & science of medicine (The Wellcome Research Institution, London: The Wellcome Foundation Ltd., 1934, p. 16). In 1936, he was eulogized as American pharmacy's gift to the world (E.F. Kelly, Journal of the American Pharmaceutical Association 25, 1936, pp. 888-9). To those of us interested in Biblical archeology, Wellcome's name will always be synonymous with the groundbreaking (sorry, couldn't resist the pun) excavation work done at Lachish from 1932-1938.

But this week (again, June 13th to be exact), the institute bearing his name punctuated another important discovery in the history of Evolution Science.

For many years, evolutionists have preached that humans evolved from an apelike ancestor, & the similarity of the human genome to that of modern apes proves it. They commonly quote a 90-something (usually 98) percent similarity, but what they don't tell you is that this percentage spans only a miniscule portion of the genome that has been analyzed--the rest/majority is unknown. Like the unknown interior of Earth, they don't like to discuss these unknown regions, or mention plainly how little we know about it. This week's report came as a pleasant/refreshing surprise:

Rethink indeed! The article states that 1% of the human genome sequence represents a mere 30,000,000 (thirty million) DNA base pairs. The fact that they're arranged in a sensible, productive order plainly indicates a building operation, not a random, purposeless assortment as mandated by Evolution Science.

"Every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God."--Hebrews 3:4

But according to evolutionists who claim to be masters of our genetic "house" after examining only 1% of it, given the right circumstances, there's a chance the 3,000,000,000 (three billion) pieces of the "house" might have simply been struck by lightning in some primordial soup, & then 1/3rd of the soup vanished...

...and, God Almighty, have you seen what's happened since? Jesus, it's amazing how it goes...
